FIX-ITs 15, 16, 17

Week 15 

She scrunched back into her chair as far as she could since he had never lost his taste for princely, but appetizing fare Arthur politely declined the main course, sturgeon roe fricassee.  

I’ll go for just deserts he requested, eying with glee the side cart piled high with delectable tarts scones pies cobblers and cheesecakes. 

After supper, King Morton peremptorily ordered Dorinda too set up Arthur in the Golden Guestroom. Velvet carpeted the floor silk blanketed the bed. He could tell he was going too relish his palace stay. 

The next a.m., during a substantial breakfast of sturgeon roe omelet King Morton graciously insists Arthur stay at least a week. 

Week 16 

Dorinda groaned and glancing down she noticed Arthurs hind leg inadvertently touching her omelet. “Eww”, she cried, sweeping him from her plate, and accidentally hurling him against the wall. 

Oww grunted Arthur. Oops I do believe I’ve broken your leg, I’m so sorry!, Dorinda fibbed, “wish I had broken more than just your leg, she muttered inaudibly. 

Fortunately for Arthur, the palace vet knew how to set broken frog legs. It looks like it’ll be a lengthy convalescence however he informed King Morton and his daughter. Because frog’s are slow healers he’ll have to stay in the infirmary for at least a month 

What rotten luck, Dorinda thought to herself. Not only was he going to stick around but her father insisted she bring too him all his meals. Do whatever you can to make him comfortable while hes recumbent King Morton ordered. 

Week 17 

 “Cool” she cooed while wondering how to escape infirmary duty she may have to treat this slime-ball royally but she knew how to make herself a royal pain. 

Offer to read to him—stories of his choice from the palace library, the King added. Not wanting to miss a propitious opportunity Arthur first selected the story of Jephthahs daughter. 

Now you may already know this story from the 11^th chapter of the book of Judges. Although the Princess did not it seemed to Arthur apropos. 

Jephthah had made an impetuous promise to God, that if he would give him victory in battle he would sacrifice the first thing to come out of the door’s of his house when he returned.
